North Pole Express

The Essex Steam Train puts on a number of themed rides, and in December it’s the North Pole Express. The host of our car was Spruce Evergreen, who performed a variation on Twas the Night before Christmas, lead songs, and told stories. We were also joined by some other visitors including the Sleepy Servers (who carried hot chocolate), elves (who brought cookies), the train conductor, and of course Santa and Mrs Clause.
